Fiber Intake and Laxation in People With Normal Bowel Function: A Systematic Review.

RCTs support small to modest effects of dietary fiber on laxation in generally healthy people with normal bowel function. Low solubility and low fermentability fibers yielded the strongest effects. Future studies should better characterize fiber properties, assess wider ranges of fiber doses, and comprehensively report participants' total and background fiber intake. Registry number Registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024522380).

Systematic review and meta-analysis of childhood exposure to antibiotics and the subsequent risk of IBD.

While causal interpretation should be cautious, childhood exposure to antibiotics was associated with an increased risk of later IBD, particularly for CD.

Associations between breastfeeding, childhood BMI and pubertal onset: Findings from a prospective cohort study.

Exclusive breastfeeding and longer breastfeeding duration were associated with later onset of puberty in boys and girls. Pre-pubertal BMI did not mediate the observed associations.

Blood micronutrients modified associations between blood heavy metals and cognitive decline in a nationally representative cross-sectional study.

This study revealed that the neurodegenerative influence of heavy metals is more pronounced in individuals with lower micronutrient status. If the results of the present study are confirmed by future studies, reducing heavy metal exposure and improving micronutrient status may offer a novel and practical strategy for preventing cognitive decline and dementia.

Changes in dietary sodium knowledge, attitudes and behaviours among Canadian adults in 2011 and 2024: A repeated cross-sectional study.

Many indices of sodium-related KAB deteriorated from 2011 to 2024 among Canadian adults, despite their continued concern about sodium intake. These findings highlight a widening knowledge-to-action gap and reinforce the need for comprehensive public health efforts to support population-wide dietary sodium reduction.

Comparison of food processing classification frameworks in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017 - 2018.

Despite differences in classification criteria across systems, associations with nutrients, sociodemographic, and cardiometabolic parameters were consistent. A standardized classification system is needed to ensure a unified understanding of ultra-processed food and its health implications.

Folic acid fortification of iodized salt improves the folate status of non-pregnant adult Ethiopian females and does not impair their iodine status: a community-based, household-randomized, dose-response trial.

FA fortification of salt is an effective and safe method to improve women's folate status and thereby reduce the risk of NTD-affected pregnancies.

Health-related quality of life, compliance and sustained adherence on a Low-Carbohydrate High-Fat diet compared with a High-Carbohydrate Low-Fat diet in people with type 2 diabetes.

HRQoL improved in both dietary intervention groups with no difference between groups. Dietary compliance was associated with improved HRQoL and may play a role in sustained adherence to the LCHF diet. Clinical trial registry number ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03068078),

Meal fatty acid metabolism is associated with long-term weight gain in women - a retrospective cohort study.

The finding that weight change is correlated with dietary fatty acid metabolism for adult, non-obese females suggests that inter-individual variations in how women process dietary fat can influence long-term energy balance. Clinical trial registration

Plasma n6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels and risk for dementia: A prospective observational study from the UK Biobank.

We observed heterogeneous associations between different types of n-6 PUFAs and risk of dementia, supporting the increasing view that n-6 PUFAs should not be treated homogeneously. Future research should investigate whether dietary LA (which drives plasma LA levels) may help reduce risk for dementia. Registration This research has been conducted using the UK Biobank Resource under Application Number 85092.

Predictive equations commonly used in clinics underestimate resting energy expenditure compared with whole-room indirect calorimetry in colorectal cancer survivors.

Future studies need to develop improved predictive equations for CRC survivors. Clinical trial registry number Identifier: NCT01570010.

Inflamm Bowel Dis
Frequency of computed tomography scans in Crohn's disease patients in the emergency department.

Radiation exposure in Crohn's patients is higher than that of the general population, owing to multiple CT scans often performed acutely in the ED. Factors we assessed could not reliably predict urgent findings on CT and a significant percentage of patients had urgent findings. However, we identified a group with multiple CTs associated with barriers to healthcare.

Long-term clinical and endoscopic outcomes of ulcerative colitis after liver transplantation: a multicenter cohort study on the use and safety of advanced therapies.

In most patients, clinical disease activity remains stable after LT. However, persistent moderate-to-severe mucosal inflammation is observed in a substantial subset during long-term follow-up. Advanced therapies, particularly vedolizumab, are being used more frequently in this setting and may offer disease control without a corresponding increase in infection risk. These findings underscore the need for individualized, interdisciplinary management and further prospective evaluation of treatment strategies in this population.

J Crohns Colitis
A Descriptive Comparison of Phase 3 Results and Head-to-Head Trials in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

Significant heterogeneity in trial design, populations and outcome reporting limits the predictive value of placebo-controlled trials. Randomized head-to-head trials remain essential for optimizing IBD therapeutic strategies.
